The Patel surname is most commonly of Indian origin. It comes from the Gujarati language, an Indo-European language spoken in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The Hindu name originally translated as "headman" or "village chief." ... Patel can also be a nickname meaning "little head."
Soumya (Sanskrit: सौमà¥à¤¯) is an Indian given name. In Eastern India, it is given to males, and its meaning is 'born of Soma'. Soma is Chandra and Soumya therefore means Budha who is said to be the son of Chandra. But Soumya also means Shubhagrahas or benefics as opposed to Papagrahas or malefic.
